Do’s:

• Keep in mind when you are visiting and pack accordingly. If you are travelling after November until the first part of February, bring protective clothes as this is the season of heavy rain and snowfall. If you are going in the shopping season, bring extra bags.
• Register with the State Migration Service if your stay is more than 10 days in the country.
• Watch out for scams and thugs in daily life.
• Buy Bakikart, because the bus, and sometimes the metro does not accept cash payment.

Don’ts:

• Talk about Armenia or get involved in a political debate,  because Azerbaijan is locked in battle with its neighbour.
• Litter  the road.
• Be rude to women
• Make the okay sign, because here it is highly offensive in the local custom and culture. 

The city of Baku and its people stay immersed in their work for the whole day, but the night scenes appear in sharp contrast to the routine-bound day life. The windy city comes alive with a colourful assortment of nightclubs and bars, turning the city into a kaleidoscopic whirlpool of entertainment. The high-spirited clubbers are served by the calm and composed attendants in the establishments, which are large in number around the Maidan Palace and old city area. The “Crystal Hall” is the largest nightclub in the city and one of the largest in the world, with state-of-the-art sound technology and performing artists from all over the world.  Not only the club scene but also the Eurovision Song Contest, Formula 1 races and other international events ensure a steady stream of foreign tourists and foreign money for the country. The innumerable restaurants, cafes, pubs, wine-bars light up the city after the sun sets, and they invite people to join the spirited party-vibe.
